Proposed rule Most rulemaking
in APHIS begins with a proposed rule. A proposed rule describes a change to
the regulations APHIS feels would benefit agriculture and the public and invites
public comment on the proposed change. This document contains:

A preamble, which includes:

an explanation of the proposed rule

an analysis of the anticipated economic effects of the proposed
rule

a description of any information collection requirements

an invitation to the public to submit comments by a specified
date (usually 60 days after publication).

The proposed additions or changes to our regulations, as they would appear
in the Code of Federal Regulations.
